Nappysan, Been using the same filter for 3 years and currently sitting in my brew cupboard gleaming white waiting for next time. I often let it soak for a day or 2, takes a bit of rinsing though. Cheers, BB

Keep in mind that each variety will differ in growth behaviour, every year my Tardiff de bourgogne starts early (more shoots than I can count currently!) while the Hersbrucker 2m away hardly moves, then it suddenly takes off and out grows the Tardif. A Chinook I planted last year has also...

I know its not a hop driven style, but all Target? Cheers, BB

jkirky, Consider using a dead fridge and hold temp rotating frozen 1 or 2L PET bottles, many brewers have done this successfully including myself for years. Got a lager in mine right now with 3 x 2L bottles keeping the temp at 9.5C and changing bottles every 2 days...easy as. Cheers, BB

Within Adelaide try Beerbelly or Brewmaker. Failing that its polenta or as I often use "popped corn" Cheers, BB

Just heard now on the radio that what appears to have created the situation in regards to coles deleting there hombrew range is that Coles were demanding a greater cut on Coopers homebrew kits threatening that if a better price could not be obtained they would delete there product. Coopers...

Never had any luck storing Rhizomes in the crisper all have failed (just me I guess). I now just put new rhizomes in pots (even over winter) and haven't had any issues this way, so I'd be doing that if it were me, then if all goes well when they start shooting and looking strong plant them in...

I'm sure the gum tree will be just fine. :) Cheers, BB

I so totally agree with the above statement. Cheers, BB

Pumpy, you old devil! and with a see through hopper as well! :P Blush Cheers, BB

Interesting that this should come up, conversely my problem is that I have a 90g pack of Topaz I was only looking at yesterday, but not sure what to do with them? Not much around really clarifying its flavour other than the CB description, so can't help with a substitute, but would like to here...

Given a reasonable starters size I would just stick to your normal routine and it should be fine and if your still concerned just chill the starter a few days longer. cheers, BB

Picked up 5 cans of Coles homebrand lager for yeast starters here in Adelaide for $6.04 ea less 5% (sons discount card). marked "reduced to clear". Cheers, BB

iIf your going to use extract some sugar will be necessary to to get the attenuation as Bribie suggested 5% would suffice. Having said that the closest you will get that I found early on when I first started brewing was a partial mash that included some raw / unmalted wheat that gives a...

That picture of the hops in the mash looks awesome! :beer: Cheers, BB

I remember that picture, a thing of God awful beauty! Cant believe it was 5 years ago! :o BB

Had no time at all for this hop when I started out brewing, anything that resembled the flavours of commercial swill I couldn't get far enough away from. As CPA and CSA was the only commercial beer I could stomach I started to try and clone them out of brewing curiosity. My opinion of POR...

You walk up to the bottle shop counter with one Stubbie of CPA and the the guy says with smile "Big night out eh'? And I say 'What?....ahh no, I just need it for the yeast". He then looks at you like you like your about to turn into a pumkin or on i'm on wy way back to "area 51" BB

Ditto, been using Homebrand/ Coles goo for years. BB

Then use it and report back. Save us all wondering :) I'm curious, BB
